The Executive Committee of the Kent Co-op Party came together on 17 February with members from the Ashford and Canterbury branches to finalise the details of our upcoming AGM and to set out plans for campaigning and policy discussions for the year.

We are planning on a campaign on Fairtrade this spring and will be organising policy discussions across Kent.

An event to mark the Co-op Party’s centenary took place in Dartford this week.

The Dartford & District Centenary Gala Dinner at the Dartford Golf Club saw well over 50 members, guests and friends of the Co-operative Party come together. The Party’s General Secretary Claire McCarthy and Kent’s David Wise, a past National Secretary, gave speeches on the past , present and future of our party.
